The lineup of former Syracuse players consisted of Sherman Douglas, Dave Bing, Lawrence Moten, Jerami Grant and Arinze Onuaku. The trio of Douglas, Moten and Bing gave Washington three of the top nine scorers in school history. All three finished their careers as the school's scoring leader. Moten remains SU's all-time leading scorer.

Douglas is SU's career assists leader and Onuaku holds the school record for highest field goal percentage (both season and career). Bing's scoring average of 24.8 is the highest in Syracuse history.

The news that Washington produced the best lineup of Syracuse players will undoubtedly give Georgetown fans some consternation.

Syracuse Hometown Madness began with eight teams, representing various cities or regions.

Washington rolled into the championship game with easy wins over California and Philadelphia. D.C. thumped a California team featuring current SU assistant Mike Hopkins and former Orange great Stevie Thompson. Washington had 96 percent of the votes cast.
